Agree, but that time has passed. Most everyone (coaches, fans, sponsors) bought into the hype last year. For better or worse he is the QB of the future. I think he will ultimately be fine as long as he doesn’t lose confidence. He will not win games single handily, he’s just not that QB.
No QB is.

NONE

Terrible playoff game. Still Romo wouldn't be held like that for three consecutive games

1 maybe. It can happen to anyone.
2 meh it can still happen. 3 you got problems and 4 you are terrible unless you're a rookie.
Call me if he does vs Washington

And he was the best player on the field vs Atlanta

Best game of his career

It's not all about the qb that's a given but the qb is the most valuable and important player on the team.

A great one will make it easier to win a SB and a ****** one will make it really really hard

That game is probably porn for Gameover.
Dude has an unhealthy hatred for Romo.
Irrational and unhealthy hate
Very,very selective in his memories on the topic. Could recall every bad play or game

Might want to read this......

"Dak Prescott is not, contrary to popular belief, a game manager. Game managers keep their teams in games. Game managers don't turn the ball over. Game managers are, in a world with fewer and fewer legitimately good quarterbacks in the league at a given time, a valuable commodity to have on your football team. The Dallas Cowboys would love to have a game manager right about now.

But Prescott is not a game-manager. He is something else entirely. He is a batting practice pitcher trying to win the World Series. He is someone who can, under absolutely perfect conditions, throw a football to the general area of the field that it needs to reach.

Give him the league's best offensive line and running back, a superstar wide receiver, a Hall of Fame tight end and more offensive depth than just about any other quarterback in the league and yes, he can throw a five-yard out to Cole Beasley. He can hit Jason Witten for a first down, or even throw the ball 30 yards down the field to a streaking Brice Butler. He can throw jump balls that Dez Bryant has to catch."

BTW, Chad Johnson made an excellent point saying Prescott didn't target Dez once in the first half. Can't post the quote (it contains language that could get your banned). Point well made in a crude way that you have to get Dez involved early, often, and in the long.

Romo made everybody around him better, like Larant Robinson and Miles Austin who never did jack without Romo.

Dak doesn’t elevate our scrubs, he instead plays down to their level and ends up sucking himself.

And Romo puts up more than 6 points against a 4 win team............just saying


You can’t compare the 2.

Romo was a rare QB.

Most QBs can’t do all he was asked to do.

I hear you but i disagree with you saying Dak desreves a pass because he is onky in his 2nd year. Were you one of the people saying how great Dak is and how the Cowboys found thier future QB? If you were than you cant have it both ways. Since Dak has taking a huge step backwards you cant now say well Dak is only in his second year he needs time to grow. Come on people. The excuses are so exhausting. Its so funny how Romo never had rhis luxury. Dak is so so in accurate sometimes it has to make you shake your head

No, I'm not saying Dak gets a pass here. He has to improve, but I really think there are other problems here that are bigger than Dak.

Thats brutal stuff. Clever, but brutal.

I don't agree with it.

Over the top irrational and harsh

Its kind of like Gameover is with Romo
:laugh:

I don’t want to sound to offensive but that “quote” is the most absurd thing I’ve ever read on this board and there are plenty to choose from.

I just like to turn thing around.

The original poster is a Romo lover. Everything Romo did is so much better then everybody else does.
I like to turn things around. Just to show the truth often lies in between. Just to give people a headstart to use their own mind.

I also wonder that maybe since there is now more game film on Dak, teams can prepare better for his weaknesses.
It's not like he was having a bad season. He had a bad few games. Earlier in the season he was being talked about his season was just as good or better than last year. That's not it.

What are you trying to say? Please just be blunt

See. my answer is there is no black or white kind of view. The truths lies in between.
People argue by using their emotions not their mind.

There is "Romo is the best" or "Romo is the worst". And when somebody starts to analyze it and says NO. Romo is not the worst but he also is not the best. Let's keep him where he belongs. and let's look at what he can do or what he couldnt. Then the lovers start to bash "ah you Romo hater" and the haters start with "ah you Romo lover".

My point is as i said. The truth lies in between. To say Romo elevated people around him is not true. Like it is not true that people "suffered" when playing with him.

I like to turn arguments around just to show people how stupid it is to exaggerate one side.

To me Romo was a good QB. But to say he elevated players around him to me is not true. I saw players play like Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers. And he never could do what they did.

Again that doesnt mean he is bad. He is still good. But elevating players around him just not was one of his traits.

Romo didn't lose 44 to 6 against the eagles? The team didn't quit in a season which led to Wade getting canned and Garrett getting the job in the first place? The only reason Dak got the job in the first place was Romo getting injured in preseason. Romo got injured in 2015 in the game against the Eagles, came back several games later, got knocked back out of the season against the Panthers. Come preseason, he gets hit against the Seahawks and is knocked out again. Dak was sacked 12 times between the Atlanta and the Phily game. I'm sorry, but Romo isn't finished those games.

The voice of reality. I for one wouldn't have liked to see him get permanently injured as I suspect he would have. He gave us better records than we deserved in the 8-8 years, and also some stinkers that many have forgotten.

That said how about him as Assistant HC/Offensive coordinator/ QB coach... Lots of roles, but I think he could excel and really help Dak and the team...

After all look at Philly who has a former QB as HC now and seems to have helped Wentz, and their passing game improve...

Romo was one of very few elite quarterbacks during his time.

Dak is a young guy with some potential.

It's comical to compare them.

If you are trying to make this into a racial thing...............and it kinda sounds like you are...............you should tread very carefully

I highly advise you clarify what you mean by "reasons other than football" between Dak and Romo besides the obvious color of their skin. You are venturing into account ban territory with these accusations if this is what you are implying.
First of all, I said what I said. You brought up racism. Don't put words in my mouth. Some I'm sure its cause of love for Romo. Some may be because of race. I don't know. You have to ask the individual that has a problem with Dak. What I said is what I mean. Smh. If you want to ban me, do it. Don't come up with an excuse because you're trying to tell me what I mean. I don't bite my tongue.

Let's not forget Garrett was blowing at least 2 games per year with clueless clock and game mgmt. Those 8-8 years would have been 10 win playoff seasons due to Romo.

Come on man the score was 3-0 at the half 16-0 at the end of the 3rd,what do you need a few defensive scores to make the offense look good
C'mon man....the defense has played bad all season. There are only a few that bring this up. Some want to blame it on Dak. Doesn't matter if it was 3-0. The game is played for 60 minutes. Not 15. Not 30. My point is, it's not just Daks fault. It's the WHOLE TEAM's fault. This defense and coaching has been atrocious.
